PROTECTION.


From the Richmond Wing.
The average cost of producing
pig.iron in Virginia is at least S13
per ton. This is shown by the
latest reliable estimates of cost from
the leading reproducing districts
of the State, tO-wit: Mines, S12.-
So; Buchanan, $500; Roanoke,
sl2.5S; Cripple Creek, S11.03.-
These are minimum estimates,
made for the purpose of comparison
with the cost of production in a
like number of iron districts in
PENNSYLVANIA. The lowest esti-
mate-that for Cripple Creek - was
made from the expense account OF
rural furnaces, where the cost of
labor and other conditions were
most favorable.
Placing the cost of production,
then, at Sl3, and adding the cost
Of transportation to Pennsylvania
marketS-where the bulk of Virgin
ia pig.iron goes-Si, we have ST.
as the total cost per ton to the Vir-
glnia producer for his iron deliver
ed in the market. According to
the suites price-list, hereceives $40
per ton. This leaves him a profit
of y per ton, or about ia per
cent. OF course, if he gets a high
er price for his iron, or the cost of
transportation is less, his profit is
greater, but we are willing to guar.
antee that there isn't an iron man
ufacturer i'll Virginia who, taking
one month with another, makes %
per cent. profit on pig-iron, to say
nothing OF the wear and tear OF
operating machinery and material,
and the cost of repairs. This, with
the tariff as it is now.
But to make things altogether
lovely for the iron producers, the
state proposes to reduce the pres
eut duty on iron One.half-say
$3.50 per tOn-sO as to enable man.
ulacturers to purchase the product
at SD or $3.50 per ton. This,
without reducing the cost of pro.
duction, would leave the producer
margin Of $3.50 to get his iron to
market, which he might be able to
do if the railroads would lower
their freight tariffs on pig.iron in
about the same proportion as the
reduction Of the duty; but where
would be his margin of profit with.

ployees! In the great Wither, we

GENERAL PRESS COMMENT.
New York World (Dem.)

The discomfort of labor was a
danger signal in the last Presiden-
tial canvass. IT nearly lost tho
Democratic party the State of New
York and the election. The $4,000
votes cast against the candidate OF
the United Democracy in this city
for MAY or last fall were but one in.
dicatiOn among many that the dis.
content is not growing less. What
has been done during the first half
of the Presidents term to deminish
this dangerous diversion : If one
plundering ring had been broken,
one great iniquity exposed, one
grasping corporation compelled to
deal justly with the Government,
or some strong action against cor
ruption performed, or earnest word
spoken to show the sympathy of
the Administration with the com.
mon people and Indicate its pur-
pose to redeem the pledges Of the
party, the situation would be much
improved. AS it il, between the
inaction of the President and the
inability of the House the Demo.
cratic party has gained little from
its first two years of power, except
what comes from the demonstration
that it does not make a very great
difference to the Republic which
party has control of the Govern
mont.

FACTS FOR eRuMeLeRs.
What tho Present Administration Hat
nnne fktr ila Caunfrx.

what the Present Administration Has
Done for the Country.
All the Republican State conventions
held this year "afraign" the present
Democratic Administration, and all
that are yet to be held will do the
same thing. That is the first duty of
n Republican convention, and one
that should meet and adjourn without
going through the pcrfunctory sol
emnity would be held recreant to the
party. What else can they dop When
they look to the National capital, they
see n Democratic Presidentin the place
where Republicans have sat for so
long timo that they had come to re-
gard it as an appendage to their party
and all that is left them is to gnash
their teeth in helpless rage and "ar-
raign" Che new Administration.
Ons convention bases its arraign-
mcnt on the battlc-nag business; an
other on the turning of some Republic
ans out of office; but all arraignments
are aoout some triiling thing that is
passing out of the public mind.
This Democratic Administration has
done aome things that it's Republican
predecessors never attempted, nor
ever thought of. 1t landed force of
marines on the Isthmus of Panama to
protect American property during a
revolutionary outbreak, and, in doing
so, gave the first suggestion of n Wig
orous and determined foreign policy
we have had for twenty-five years. 1t
reversed the public lands policy of
five successive Republican Adminstra-
tions-a policy in the interest of rail-
road companies, cattle corporations
and alien claimants-and inaugurated
the new and better policy of reclaim
ing the public lands for actual home
stead settlers. These distinctive DEM
ocratic measures the Republican con-
ventions take no notice of. They pass
over the improved commercial and in
dustrial condition of the country, so
marked in its contrast with the dismal
depression that prevailed for three
years before President Cleveland en-
tered office; and they likewise leave
unmentioned the prudent management
of the public finances, the large pay
ments on the public debt, and the
vigorous prosecution of the work of
rebuilding navy which, under Repub-
lican management, had dwindled to a
few old tubs.
The American people have eyes to
see, and in spite of all the arraigning
resolutions of Republican conventions
they perceive that the condition of the
country is better, and it's future bright
er this day, than they were for years
under Republican administrations, and
they are in no mood for a change to
the old state of things. st Louis Re
publican.

Powell and Foraker, as Speakers, Conn
pared.
The Democrats of Ohio began their
campaign in very satisfactory manner
at Hamilton on Wednesday.
The speech of Hon. Thomas +. Pow
ell, the candidate for Governor, is es-
pccially to be commended. When he
and Governor Foraker, old-time class
mates and friends, met some time ago
at Powcll's home, during military
encampmcnt, it was given out that this
canvas would be devoid of personals
ties of any kind, and would be con-
ductcd with due regard to the dignity
of the Office for which each is candi-
date, and the Importance of the prin-
ciplcs collatcrally, If not directly, in
volved. Mr.. Powell, so far, has cer-
tainly hcwcd to that line.
He has shown himself to be an easy
and fluent speaker, so that he prc~cnts
the dryest of figures in an attractive
form. No candidate in Ohio, of late
years. has adhered so closely to the
merits of his case and paid so little at
tention to outside matters, which are
too often introduced, though having
no earthly relation to practical issues,
for the sole purpose of influencing
votes by appealing to passion and
prejudice.
1t has been many day since DEM
ocratic candidate for State Office in
Ohio has spoken to the voters so plainly
and positively rs to the tariff 1--WE
believe said he, "that the present
tariff system is both unequal and un-
just in its operations. We are in favor
of having it thoroughly revised and
honestly reformed. We are in favor of
having it so reduced that the revenue
derived from it will not be more than
sufficient to meet the expenses of the
Government. We further
favor making this reduction upon
articles of necessity and which enter
into general consumption instead of
luxuries. Wedemand that
the reduction proposed shall be taken
from food, clothing and articles con-
sumed by every family instead of from
spirits"
On all matters Of State or national
interest Mr. Powell is just as candid in
expressing his opinions, and if Gov
ernor Foraker be equally so we shall
be presented this year with the rare
spectacle of contest in Ohio fought
out on it's own merits. 1t is very clear
that Democrats have the better chance
in q fight of this kind. Washington

TARIFF POINTS.
Outrageous Tax on Sugar and Articles
of Family Use.

Outrageous Tax on Sugar and Articles
of Family Use.
Why can not the most casual obscrv-
er see the outrage of the tax of 2 1-2
cents on each pound of sugar imported
into this country, as II bonus to the
protected manufacturer, in addition to
the fair price he receives Why should
this be when this same protected man
ufacturer finds it profitable to ship the
same article to Old England and retail
it for tho cents less a pound than 0e pay
for ii?
How about wooden blankets that pay
$40 on every 800 of value, which must
come out of the pocket of the poor fell
low who needs his blanket, while the
rich, who must have their thread laces,
only have to pay $50 on the $l00p
Then compare the present price of
quinine with the price paid prior to
placing it on the free list. Quite a
change. from less than n dollar an
ounce to range of from Sc TO $l6 ON
The protected article!
And another pretty point is the fol-
lowing: Matches, since placed OH the
free list, can be bought for less than
the freight would cost from Europe,
consequently you do not SEQ foreign
match in the country, while Barber
and the other great manufacturers
of this article in this country, made
millionaires under tho high protection
heretofore afforded them, find it very
profitable to manufacture them at q
fair price as at present.
Where has tho old revenue income
tax gomez The same fellows who
repealed this income tax now want the
tax taken from whisky and tobacco,
but are not speaking word for the
people who wear woolen clothing taxed
SOS ON every 500, and sugar taxed ~
cents on each pound. In fact, all the
articles of general family use are
taxed At an average of $50 on every
500.
